I stumbled on this place while exploring the area the day before the Grand Prix started up. As someone who is gluten free for Crohn's, it was a godsend. The chicken-avocado cream sandwich was one of the best GF sandwiches I've ever had. The Lavender Lady tea drink was also phenomenal. I wish they had a booth at the track for the weekend! Fantastic.

Top-notch food and a self-pour beer wall make for an exciting vibe, but service can be hit or miss, especially on busy nights.

I loved the gluten free pizza crust! It was thin and chewy which is hard to find! My husband got a chicken sandwich which he said was good (it was recommended by the bartender). The bartenders were very attentive and did a great job at managing everyone at the bar! I also asked if the garlicky spinach dip was gluten free but they weren’t sure so we didn’t try it but it sounded good

Excellent place for a meal. Their gluten free hamburger buns are delish. We had a very attentive and fun server named Lisa. Will go again!

A cozy spot with a chill vibe, though seating can get a bit too cold and the outdoor area needs some tidying up.

As a celiac, my options for eating out are limited. Naked Farmer was a go-to for a while. But I’ve noticed over the past few months that they have a much heavier hand with the salt than they used to. Twice now, I’ve ordered from this location through Uber Eats and found myself with a $30 order ($30 after fees applied) of food so salty it’s barely edible. It’s too expensive to eat here for this to be the case. The point of this place is supposed to be fresh eating, with less sodium than most American food. For me personally, this location is now off my go-to list, but I would eat here again if I was in the area and up for spending a risky $17.

TLDR; Great for kids, puppies & worth the walk We were hanging out by the pier and needed some thing light and cold so we took a walk down and found this place. Because there’s an event going on there was a lot of road blockage and construction, but, this place was not only worth the walk, they were extremely accommodating. One in our party is gluten-free and they made sure that her bowl was appropriate for her. Yes, fruit bowls seem like they would all be gluten-free, but that’s not always the case. Not only did they have the açai bowls we were looking for, but they had a wide variety of options, including coconut, pitaya, and a few others. We customized our bowls and they were delicious without being too filling. 10/10 highly recommend! Also, if you have a little ones who are potty training, they are extremely relaxed about little ones using bathroom even without purchase, which any mom knows is much appreciated in an area where every place only allows you to use the bathroom if you’re eating there.

Taylor Sam's is a sparkling diamond among a quarry of shoddy rocks. For me, going out to eat us most often an unpleasant experience. I suffer from a severe case of Celiac disease as well as intolerance to other foods. It is a rare occasion to find an establishment where I can not only eat, but the service is tolerant,

If you are a "foodie", like your own home-cooked food better than most restaurants, or just want a great meal in a hip restaurant with a good vibe, you will not be disappointed here! The food and drinks are fantastic. Fresh, cooked perfectly, and flavorful. We eat Gluten free and found many delicious options. The service is top-notch and very friendly. Victor was an absolute joy and added much to the experience. We have two favorite restaurants in town and this of them! If you are late to the game and have not tried Social Roost add this to your must try list and I bet it will become a favorite.

10-⭐️ Restaurant …. Said to myself before walking in, no way they can be as good as Tampa’s first month open. I was so wrong. Absolutely, EXCEPTIONAL! Atmosphere, service, let me say that twice, service… 10 Star! Drinks from bar in lobby while waiting, burrata cheese appetizer, short rib, dessert of flourless chocolate cake that is now going to be an every time thing. Thank you so much for this location closer to Clearwater. St.Pete is our “into-the-city” night out. Chris Ponte is the “Master” of offering most every thing Gluten Free and perfect, hoping other restaurants can catch-up.
